Abstract

The MDTsInAction research problem uniquely integrated three ethical contexts: firstly, the context of qualitative mental healthcare research. This emphasises service user involvement to ensure meaningful research. Challenges of benchmarking ethical standards in qualitative healthcare research are also raised. The second context was the topic MDT meetings where service users were absent. This context did not appear to fit with the healthcare context promoting service user involvement. The final context was the use of conversation analysis. This carries an implicit assumption that the analyst is the expert—again, not complementing a healthcare research context promoting service user involvement. Reflections on how these were managed in this research programme are presented, alongside tips for ensuring the highest ethical practice in similar research designs.
